A 13-year-old girl may have just delivered the best Donald Trump snub yet.

On Tuesday’s episode of “America’s Got Talent,” after telling judges she’d been doing standup comedy for about three years, Lori Mae Hernandez started building up her Donald Trump joke by making some gibes about her own young age.

America’s Got Talent, this is amazing. I wouldn’t have missed this for the world. I even turned down a really big job to be here,” Hernandez said. “Yeah, have you ever seen Disney Channel? Well, I was gonna babysit two little girls that really like Disney Channel.”

She went on to point out that 13-year-olds weren't considered responsible enough to drive. However, she added that some parents actually paid them to be responsible for the lives of ‘helpless infants’.

“Let’s talk about that for a minute. I am not a high school graduate. I haven’t even been to high school. I don’t have a driver’s license,” Hernandez said. “But you are going to leave your beloved child, the one that is carrying on your name to the next generation, with me. My only qualification to be a babysitter is that I used to be a baby. That’s crazy.”

Hernandez perfectly ended her routine with her Donald Trump joke; “That’s like saying, ‘Hey, you’re sick a lot. Ya wanna be my doctor?’ ‘Weren’t you the host of a reality show? Ya wanna be president of the United States?'”

Not only did Hernandez’ Trump joke have the audience roaring with laughter, it prompted a standing ovation.

The 13-year-old was inspired to start telling jokes when her dad was diagnosed with a form of temporary facial paralysis, which, Hernadez said made it hard for him to smile.

Chacha Jee | 7 years ago | Reply There were millions of jokes on Clinton and George Junior but they still were elected for second terms. This is part of American life. Trump jokes have always there about his wives, hair style, tv shows etc. Instead of what this young girl is saying, Trump will be elected President of USA and he will be one of the great presidents of USA.
fawad | 7 years ago | Reply @Asif Butt: I am not questioning her talent, she is good. BUT the headline is misleading and wrong it shows myopic vision and just a reason to mock Trump.
